Refreshed by the Presence

Art Snow preached from Acts 1, focusing on Jesus’ command to “wait in Jerusalem” until the Holy Spirit comes. He emphasized that while we often want to rush into action, there is divine purpose in waiting. The disciples weren’t waiting passively—they waited in unity, in prayer, and with anticipation. Waiting builds character, unity, and obedience. Art connected this with broader biblical themes, showing that waiting is often the proving ground of faith. He challenged the church to remain faithful in the “in-between” seasons—between promise and fulfillment—and to recognize that God's timing is never late. He concluded by reminding listeners that God always shows up right on time and that waiting is not a delay, but a design.
